Biography:

Once a normal student of Japan's prestigious Mahora Academy, (that is to say, a slightly nuts student), Haruna's life unknowingly took a turn for the magical when young mage Negi Springfield became her class' English and homeroom teacher. At first, her interaction with him was strictly limited to encouraging her friends Ayase Yue and Miyazaki Nodoka to admit her feelings for him. However, she managed to divine the existence of magic during the class' trip to Kyoto, and the world was doomed.

During this trip and the following Mahora Summer Festival Incident, she primarily played a support role, creating rudimentary constructs for her friends' needs, blocking time bullets and helping Ku Fei block three Chachamaru mass production units to buy Negi time to reach his objective.

After the Mahorafest, she developed her skills with her new magically gained Artifact, creating more magically powerful and sophisticated constructs capable of flight, thought response, and even energy beam attacks. It is significant to note that, upon being separated from Ala Alba during the Mundus Magicus Gateport incident, she actually managed to prosper alone with Cocone Fatima Rosa, having earned enough money to both buy a used airship and outfit it with black market weapons.

In the end, she, like the rest of the Ala Alba, was instrumental in the defeat of global terrorist organization Kosmo Entelekhia. Things, however, did not settle down after this, although personal data on her past this point is insufficient and unreliable.

Class Skills:

Territory Creation: C+

Caster is an expert mangaka, and given any free time she's likely to set up an art workshop for herself and others. These workshops are easy to dismantle by the enemy, but they also can be used for collecting and filling data, and for the upholding of strategic meetings and hiding prisoners or escapees. They also have the advantage of being easily portable and movable from one location to another through minimal effort.

Item Creation: A+

While not a trained mage herself, Caster gains a high rank at this skill from her Artifact, the Imperium Graphices, earned from a ritualistic kiss with Negi. It is a drawing set that allows her to create anything she can draw. These creations can range from simple golem caricatures doodles to highly advanced human-sized mobile suits with flight, energy beam, and rocket punch capability. Coupled with her devious imagination, it is both a highly versatile tool and a dangerously effective weapon. However, Haruna also absorbs a small portion of the damage her constructs receive in battle into her own organism; large amounts of damage may even threaten her own survival.

Personal Skills:

Badass Bookworm: A

Haruna is a trained library explorer, used to raid the depths of Mahora's gigantic Library Island, and thus skilled in rappelling, unarmed combat, small arms combat, whips, the Dewey Decimal System, library and wilderness survival, spelunking, book repair, finding the smutty books intentionally misplaced in the shelves by students trying to keep them all to themselves, locking, and trap identification and disbarment, among other skills. She also has an understanding of the magical black market, and knows how to acquire things from it.

Adventurer Tactics: C

Other than because of her Artifact, Caster was an asset to Ala Alba because of her organizational skills, information processing, tactical planning and motivational abilities. While not exactly a leader, she can bring together any sort of group that is needed for any situation, though she lacks the ability to lead it effectively. However, being a happy go lucky, good natured individual despite her character flaws and vices, she can serve as the heart and unifying glue for a team; this skill goes up two ranks if the majority of the team Caster is in happens to share at least an apparent age with her.

Anything Goes Martial Arts: D

Caster received incomplete but still efficient training at Kempo and other styles of fighting from her father, although her lazy, inconsistent nature has made her to lag behind in her practice of the arts. As she stands now, she is better at it than Yukihiro Ayaka is at her own fighting style, but still far below the likes of Ku Fei and Nagase Kaede. In life, Caster disliked having her martial prowesses known, and for years she kept them a secret from everyone save Nodoka and Yue.

Noble Phantasm:

The Great Paru-sama: A

Anti-Army Unit.

A gigantic living, empathic flying whale ship, which Caster once bought with the small fortune she gained for exploiting her abilities in the Magic World. It can hold up to forty people at once comfortably, and is equiped with a wide and powerful arsenal of cannons, missiles and projectile beams. It is not extremely maneuverable, but still remarkably fast despite its size, and fairly durable. It also has a functional cloaking system that can keep hidden from the naked human eye or radars, and functions with the equivalent of an aerial B ranked Presence Concealment when activated; however, the ship cannot shoot while cloaked.

While Caster is a skilled expert t piloting this particular ship, that does not given Caster the Riding Skill with any other kind of air, land or water vehicles.

Summon: "Good morning! I'm Saotome Paru, the lovely Caster, at your service! Because you are my Master, aren't you?"

Start of Battle: "I'm a lover, not a fighter!"

Victory: "Enemy Party Obliterated! Record time: 57 seconds!"

"A happy ending! I love those!"

Defeat: "Ugh... I'll show you next time…"

"I hope you're happy now!"

"World domination... a dream shattered…"

Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "At least I enjoyed my life…"

Noble Phantasm Activation: "This is my pride! This is my baby! Receive the kiss of all our cannons! I call you forth... GREAT PARU-SAMA!"

Extra Dialogue:

"Dammit... I take a single look at her and my heart starts beating like crazy, I don't know why... But, just look at that hot body! Isn't that reason enough!?" (When you have Caster Lala Satalin Deviluke.)

"I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy of your company, master! Please train me, I beg you!" (When you have Foreigner Hokusai Katsushika and Oui.)

"Ho ho ho! So you would call yourself a would be doujin artist, wouldn't you? Well, let this be your test! This will be our field of battle...!" (When you have Ruler Jeanne D'Arc or Avenger Jeanne D'Arc.)

Birthday: "Heeeeyyy, good birthday, Master! We can't go drink together yet, I'm still a minor, but we still can party all night long! C'mon, don't be a spoilsport! Enjoy yourself!"

Event: "What is this? A summer festival, or a sports festival? Some people still haven't forgiven me over what I did in my last sports festival, you know..."

Holy Grail: "It is cursed, isn't it? That's the way it's always is in this kind of stories. When there's something that is just too good for words, it turns out it's damned or something, geez..."
